A Houston man accused of kicking his father out of his own home in a wheelchair has been jailed on a charge of injury to the elderly.

Jaime Gonzales, 46, allegedly became upset on Dec. 4 about caring for his 83-year-old father and the father's elderly wife, according to the probable-cause affidavit.

The father told police that his son said he would make him leave and then pushed him outside the house in his wheelchair.

To no avail, the father told his son he didn't want to leave his home, according to court documents.

At that point, the son lifted his father out of the wheelchair and pushed him into the back seat of his car, forcefully pushing his right lower leg against the vehicle.

The older man told police the impact caused him pain and injury, the affidavit stated.

An investigator saw two lacerations on the man's leg, according to the affidavit.

Gonzales was arrested Dec. 11 and remained in jail Friday on $20,000 bail.

His next court date is set for Jan. 9 in the 337th State District Court, according to online records.
